Red Fescue Molate

Festuca rubra var. molate
Molate Red Fescue (Festuca rubra 'Molate') is a perennial grass native to Western US states (such as California and Oregon) that can thrive in USDA Zones 4–10. Reaching a mature height of 1–2 feet with a fine-textured, short-rhizomatous, weeping sod-forming growth habit, it features narrow, glaucous blue-green to dark green leaf blades and produces open seed panicles. It thrives in dry to moist soils, coastal bluffs, and shady slopes in full sun to deep shade and is ideal for low-maintenance slope stabilization, wildfire-defensible space cover, and shade-tolerant erosion control.
